Roles of plastid-located phosphate transporters in carotenoid accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Enhanced carotenoid accumulation in plants is crucial for the nutritional and health demands of the human body since these beneficial substances are acquired through dietary intake.

Candidate Gene Analysis Reveals That the Fruit Color Locus C1 Corresponds to PRR2 in Pepper (Capsicum frutescens)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The diverse fruit colors of peppers (Capsicum spp.) are due to variations in carotenoid composition and content. Mature fruit color in peppers is regulated by three independent loci, C1, C2, and Y.

OrganellarGenomeDRAW—a suite of tools for generating physical maps of plastid and mitochondrial genomes and visualizing expression data sets

Nucleic Acids Res., 2013
Mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) are cell organelles of endosymbiotic origin that possess their own genetic information. Most organellar DNAs map as circular double-stranded genomes. Across the eukaryotic kingdom, organellar genomes display great

Plastid division [PDF]

AoB PLANTS, 2010
Plastids undergo a process of binary fission in order to replicate. Plastid replication is required at two distinct stages of plant growth: during cell division to ensure correct plastid segregation, and during cell expansion and development to generate large populations of functional plastids, as in leaf mesophyll cells.

The bRPS6-Family Protein RFC3 Prevents Interference by the Splicing Factor CFM3b during Plastid rRNA Biogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants, 2020
Plastid ribosome biogenesis is important for plant growth and development. REGULATOR OF FATTY ACID COMPOSITION3 (RFC3) is a member of the bacterial ribosomal protein S6 family and is important for lateral root development. rfc3-2 dramatically reduces the

RNA-sequencing analysis of the msl2 msl3, crl, and ggps1 mutants indicates that diverse sources of plastid dysfunction do not alter leaf morphology through a common signaling pathway

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Determining whether individual genes function in the same or in different pathways is an important aspect of genetic analysis. As an alternative to the construction of double mutants, we used contemporary expression profiling methods to perform pathway ...

Site-directed mutagenesis from Arg195 to His of a microalgal chloroplastidial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase causes an increase in phospholipid levels in yeast

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
To analyze the contribution of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) to the first acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G-3-P), the present study focused on a functional analysis of the GPAT gene from Lobosphaera incisa (designated as LiGPAT) and the ...

The Conservation of VIT1-Dependent Iron Distribution in Seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
One third of people suffer from anemia, with iron (Fe) deficiency being the most common reason. The human diet includes seeds of staple crops, which contain Fe that is poorly bioavailable.

Novel Plastid-Nuclear Genome Combinations Enhance Resistance to Citrus Canker in Cybrid Grapefruit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Host disease resistance is the most desirable strategy for control of citrus canker, a disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. However, no resistant commercial citrus cultivar has been identified.

Secondary Structure of Chloroplast mRNAs In Vivo and In Vitro

Plants, 2020
mRNA secondary structure can influence gene expression, e.g., by influencing translation initiation. The probing of in vivo mRNA secondary structures is therefore necessary to understand what determines the efficiency and regulation of gene expression ...
